I'll betcha that for 05, ford does not offer the s/c upgrade. I think it will end up being an all aftermarket deal.

The S/C upgrade will be a ford exclusive, altho is possible the could end up using a vortec unit in their kit, but it will be strictly offered by ford in house, and it will be an option when the convert. comes out sometime in March. Keeping the warranty is a very big +

So I would be able to take my 05 back and get the Supercharger installed....with the warranty intact?

lol. i couldnt read that at all. I could only see the car, and where it says stuff about the suspension. Either way. i work for a dealership. And i highly doubt it is a factory option. Im kinda leaning twords a Ford Racing upgrade in which it will not up hold a warranty.

Believe it or not, its been confirmed by one of the leading mustang dealers in the country, it will be a factory upgradeable option and will hold a warranty, and yes, you will be able to return your already bought GT for the upgrade. From what i herd from him also is that it will be almostly the same setup as on the cobra besides the pulleys tuning, and a few other minor details...

Well, there's a whole lot more to this. You're making much more of this article than it is. They won't be offering a factory blower as a GT option, it would completely nullify the idea of a SVT and completely kill SVT sales.

Not to mention, it will not keep the warranty. Ford would have to be dumb to offer a blower dealer option on a non-forged engine & uphold a warranty.
